So, M, just to be clear : the entire lesson you glean from this passage is that Jesus knew how to engage in tricky wordplay? No example of his philosophy? No guidance for his followers? Just clever verbal gamesmanship?
I rest my case.
You are not interested in hearing Jesus' teachings, let alone following them.

I'm sure this thought hasn't crossed your mind but maybe it should. Perhaps you're the one trying to use Jesus' teachings to suit your personal agenda?

Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s
Keep politics separate from certain other fields, such as religion. This is part of a saying of Jesus in the Gospels; the full version is “Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s, and unto God the things that are God’s.”
